For me it was annoying to have to login again just because they switched over the same app on Roku. But worse is that Max just has less functionality than HBO Max - there is only search, home, and My Stuff - but no pages for Movies and TV Shows and the other stuff separately that they had before... that everyone else… Read more

Zero issues with my transition. 4 TVs plus phone app was pretty seamless. Only had one of them prompt me to sign back in.  Read more

Yep. Woke up this morning to turn on HBO Max and it told me to download the new Max app. Okay, fine. So I did and then the Max app told me it didn’t service this region. I really hope they fix this quickly but I’m nervous because I’m in Sweden that Europe is going to be an afterthought.

As a former ISP call centre employee nothing makes me angrier to see the suggestion to contact your ISP when there is an issue with a specific app.  Read more

We got the HBO Max not available in your region screen, and then a link to download the Max app. Pretty painless as the new Max app remembered our account and logged us in automatically. About 2 minutes out of my life. (If this helps - Samsung smart TV, your results may vary) Read more

Worked fine for me; autologged me in after I downloaded the new app on my AppleTV. Anecdotal evidence FTW! Read more

Yeah, logging into HBOMax and then just not having the application load at all, was frustrating and made me want to throw the app out all together.

Then, after moving to the new app, and having interactions not work at all how they worked with the previous app, ESPECIALLY when trying to get rid of the “Hey watch these… Read more

My experience with bitcoin investment and losing money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen bitcoins/ Ethereum ...sometime in May I fell for a forex scam which promised overly high returns and I ended up losing close to $170,000.

Assuming it leaked during shipment, we will know when the next rainstorm hits the Mojave Desert... we should see a lot of healthy new cacti sprouting up around the railroad tracks! Read more

One must wonder how, in Communist China, an individual can be personally rich enough to throw six hundred grand around based on a request from a friend...

Why not just train an AI to do the same thing? Then you don’t have to keep re-posting the job year after year. $1000 is plenty to cover the compute costs, and then you could get a college grad intern to write the code.

“It is unclear how or when the chemical disappeared during transit, but Dyno Nobel told KQED News, ‘The railcar was sealed when it left the Cheyenne facility, and the seals were still intact when it arrived in Saltdale. The initial assessment is that a leak through the bottom gate on the railcar may have developed in… Read more

Doesn’t matter if it all leaked out or not, this is the kind of thing you need not to lose track of. Because if it can disappear from a leak, it can disappear from insurrectionists stealing it. And they need to be stopped before they can kill anyone. Read more

All these supposedly smart people creating Twitter clones. If only they spent their time doing something valuable for society — like curing cancer, or playing beer pong.
